It goes without saying but Pitt hasn't had a great history of having its fans travel to bowl games. The Panthers' lack of success in recent years has likely played a part in things with the team often participating in undesirable contests. But fresh off an 8-4 regular season, there appears to be some interest in the team's postseason destination.
The immediate reaction online after Sunday's selection was overwhelmingly negative. But Pitt is still selling tickets at a pretty amazing clip so far. Ticket sales aren't always disclosed, but head coach Pat Narduzzi was more than happy to leak some of that information.
